Add grated garlic and after about 30 seconds, add the chopped chicken.
Add turmeric, salt, and black pepper, and sauté for one to two minutes.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips, then add them to the pan and stir.
Finally, add sliced mushrooms to the mixture.
Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and let it cook for about 30 minutes so the chicken and carrots cook in the mushroom juices and become tender.
Next, add the milk and stir well. Let it cook for another 10 minutes, then remove from heat and serve in a dish.
Top with fried potatoes and serve.
You can use plain or thin-cut chips instead of French fries. For a nicer presentation, it is better to cut the potatoes into cubes before frying.
Mushrooms are nutritious and contain protein, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fiber, copper, iron, antioxidants, and more. They are known to help support the immune system. When buying mushrooms, note that fresh mushrooms are not necessarily bright white. A good mushroom should feel slightly heavy; very light ones may not be fresh. The cap should not have cracks, and mushrooms with brown spots should be avoided unless fully cooked.
For this recipe, it is better to use small button mushrooms and add them whole to the dish.
